### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful stories
*by L***T on February 14, 2019*

I was a charter subscriber to MS. magazine decades ago. The first issue included a story called The Green Woman which I adored. From time to time over the years I would try to find the story but could not. It is in this storybook and I am SO PLEASED to read it again after so many decades

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Feminist Fairytales
*by S***7 on March 8, 2019*

I love this book, I received my first copy of this when I was a teenager and I have treasured it ever since. I most recently bought this as gifts for a friend's daughter. Feminist fairytales with a variety of approaches to the subjects. I must for anyone who wants to counter the princess "rescue me" obsession.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Interesting, if dated, academic counterpoint
*by G***0 on April 22, 2010*

I first read Don't Bet on the Prince roughly 20 years ago, and recently went searching for my copy (apparently loaned or lost). I bought a replacement copy and came to the realization that a lot has changed in 20 years.My intent this time was to have some stories to read to my daughters that offered a counterpoint to the traditional/Grimm/Disney imaging of women in general and princesses in particular. Some of the stories are well above the elementary or middle school levels, while some others are appropriate as stories for children. Zipes acknowledges this by segmenting the stories into two groups, one for the young, and the other for the young at heart. Most are referential, though, in the sense that strong familiarity with the traditional tales make these more interesting. An additional section of feminist literary criticism follows.To the end of stories for kids, I very much like "The Princess Who Stood on Her Own Two Feet," and "Prince Amilec." That said, there are most likely better anthologies of stories for children. As a bit of critical text, it certainly represents a step in the progression of feminist theory, just not the current one.
